Condition Report
All the spoons appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general tarnishing and surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. Minor surface dints/bumps. The gilding on the berry spoon bowls is very bright and likely re-gilded. The gilding on the other bowls is quite worn and faded, especially the pierced examples. Bowls have generally faired well. Some wear to decoration but overall in good condition. Some rubbing and slight distortion to hallmarks but mostly clear and legible. General expected wear to cases with some fading to interior lining, one also with tears to fabric. Berry spoons not cased.
